How many times can I say it--when you're winning, keep the pedal to the metal. Big leads should not be blown, especially because of hubris. Win, then taunt. Not the other way around:

Not many of you know this, but Woodcock was the best player at a venue we referred to as Marquis de Faggotry. It was one of our stops when Chicken Man (I am known by many names) and the Pandas used to travel around town searching for the Riddle of Ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEp76ppPc8o&am...

I didn't believe it, but it was true: AVP came to the exclusive resort community! This has happened before, in ancient times. But this time, instead of a Kurgan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yvyXxBOgVg&t=319s We got a Lorax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBu_xnS8Pl8 He came in as just one ...

It's pretty amazing when a whole pool agrees on something. Especially when that something is props for one player. It warms an old Chief's heart to watch a player be a student of the game, stick with it, develop their skills, to the extent that they come into their own and play exceptional ball, gam...

It was the worst of times, it was the safest of times. Never have I seen the pool be so safe. Which means of course Taz had a good day. The number of games was few, with the delays being of the length of 2 Fishes, a Tbone, times 2. There are only a few things that will be entered into the historical...

Kudos to those who show up an noon, and hope that there will be game. I salute you. But you might want to be ready to play 4s, or look up the history of this league, and see that it doesn't work that way. As a semi responsible adult, I had some chores to do. So I didn't make Friday(work), or the fan...

Relatively low turnout today. Which also means one pool, no waiting, for the most part. Only 1-2 had to sit. So what a difference a day makes. Yesterday, won many, lost few. Today, quite the reverse. And along those lines, I write with great shame, and great honors to the opponents for the following...

My my my. What a polymorphous and perverse turnout of pandas today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idA4NWlk-gc I was blessed by Ballchair to play with many teams today. Dynastied with Scott the Walrus, who was just flat out unstoppable early. Also on that team were Marcelo, Scully, Monkey, Jarrod. ...

Good turnout today, eventually. Maybe too good, of which I'm about to speak... Riata Rules 101--3 wins in a row is a dynasty. If you win your dynasty match, that means 2 new teams come in. If you lose it, you're out and only 1 new team comes in. Can you please! win your dynasties??? Failure to do so...

Mixed day today, talent wise. Also strange, in that even the BBGs were pretty lopsided. Yours truly & teams won some games early, including a dynasty (with Gronk!). Then ended up in the bad rote. Back started to tighten up (again) so time to go--not going to throw it out bringing the D league up...

What a difference a day makes. Saturday: many new players showing interest. Like a dozen of them. I'll let you phrase that as you will. Played with them all day. Some of them have potential. Potential isn't quite enough. Wanna guess how many wins it led to? I got one as a sub in the "win it for...

Wowie wow wow. What a great turnout we had. Apologies for disbelieving in noon ball. For future reference, noon ball must be pimped endlessly the week before it happens to be believed, complete with roll calls. 12 means 1. I can start there with the telling of the tale. Early dynasty! That's mainly ...

First AAR of regular season June 2019! And there are some surprises... I'll start with some players of the day that don't ordinarily make top billing: Nate, Jarrod, honorable mention Monkey. Here's why--if they didn't play well, that would've been it for the teams they were on. Who ever heard of the...

Amazing turnout for day 3, which leads to problems... How do you pick your teams. Captains seem to be back in vogue this year. There's a point to that--2 experienced players who can assess talent can make for good games. There are variations of course. My main complaint is pandas are hard to herd, s...

As predicted, will strong, body weak on start time today. But we still had plenty of players, including some new-ish ones. I like the mixed bag in terms of teams. Kinda matches up well with my drunken master awkward fighter skill set. Attorney Scott was excused duty today. AWOL Ford, Taz Dynasties w...
